Chapter 429 - Fulfilling Tenten's Wishes

Looking at Tenten, Shun asked with a smile, "Tenten, do you have any wish?"

Tenten's eyes shifted, and she sighed softly, "I want to see the scenery of Peach Blossom Island."

Hearing her wish, Shun curved his lips into a smile. "You want to see Peach Blossom Island? What's so difficult about that?"

Before Tenten could react, her wrist was gently grasped by him.

The next second, the surrounding scenery twisted, and the grass and trees of the training ground were instantly replaced by the salty, humid sea breeze.

Tenten opened her eyes wide in shock. Beneath her feet was the boundless blue, waves crashing against an invisible barrier, the spray carrying a crisp, clean scent.

"Th-This is... Peach Blossom Island?"

Shun gently released her hand, looked up at the magnificent sea before them, and lightly waved his hand toward the surface.

In an instant, the previously calm sea surface suddenly boiled. Massive waves, like awakened beasts, surged up dozens of meters high, resembling a thick, hundred-meter-tall wall of water crashing down violently towards the two of them.

Tenten watched the massive waves before her, her ears filled with the roaring sound of the ocean churning. Frightened, she squeezed her eyes shut, her heart leaping into her throat, but the anticipated impact never came.

She slowly opened her eyes, seeing a glossy, pale blue circular shield enveloping them. The giant wave smashed against the shield, making a deafening sound, then turned into scattered mist, refracting tiny specks of light in the sunlight.

Before she could recover from the shocking sight, Shun casually waved his sleeve.

The next second, countless colorful sea fish leaped out of the water. Silver scales, gold scales, and rainbow scales glittered brilliantly in the sun, like a flowing feast.

Several flying fish spread their transparent fins and glided across the surface, tracing graceful arcs. A few bolder ones even brushed past the shield, the water droplets on their fins clearly visible.

"Wow..."

Tenten couldn't help but gasp, her eyes wide as she stared intently at the scene before her.

Immediately after, Shun snapped his fingers sharply. The sea surface suddenly churned violently, forming a giant whirlpool. In the center of the whirlpool, a hundred-meter-long massive whale slowly surfaced, its enormous body like a small hill, its skin a deep blue-gray.

It opened its mouth and sprayed a thick column of water straight into the sky. As the mist diffused, it created a hazy beauty.

Tenten subconsciously covered her mouth, afraid that her breathing might disturb the beauty before her. Her clear eyes reflected the leaping sea fish, the gigantic whale, and the pervasive mist. Her breathing softened, and her eyes were slightly red-rimmed.

This was a sight she had never dared to dream of, yet the man before her had made it come true so easily.

Shun quietly watched her joyful appearance, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Taking advantage of her focus on the beautiful scenery and her complete lack of defense, he leaned down slightly and gently sealed her lips with his own.

The soft, cool sensation exploded on her lips. Tenten froze, as if paralyzed. Her cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and even the tips of her ears felt burning hot.

She could clearly feel the warmth of Shun's lips, mingled with the scent of the sea breeze, making her dizzy.

Shun did not deepen the kiss excessively, only lingering briefly before slowly pulling away.

Gazing at her with deep, focused eyes, he said, "Tenten, I know you have a wonderful imagination and hold many romantic expectations in your heart. From now on, you take care of the imagining, and I will take care of the realizing."

Tenten, whose heart was pounding like a drum, looked at his earnest eyes, feeling a warmth spread through her heart.

"I want to see a rainbow."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she lowered her head awkwardly, feeling that her request was too willful.

She had already troubled him so much, how could she push her luck further?

She secretly glanced up at Shun. Seeing no trace of impatience from him, she breathed a small sigh of relief.

Shun saw her shy appearance and pinched her cheek. "What's difficult about that?"

Without any hesitation, he snapped his fingers again.

The mist over the sea hadn't completely dispersed. Sunlight penetrated the layers of vapor, and a magnificent rainbow bridge spanned the water.

Seven colors intertwined, one end connecting to the sea and the other seeming to stretch into the sky. Its edges shimmered with a faint halo, a beauty that captivated the eye.

Tenten's eyes widened in surprise. Just as she was about to speak in admiration, she remembered something and, with a hint of cautious anticipation, said, "I also want to see... the night sky over the sea. The kind where there are lots of stars, the kind that reflects on the water's surface."

"As you wish."

Shun gently wrapped his arm around her waist, his palm resting against her back, providing her with a complete sense of security.

The dizzying sensation of Teleportation struck again. Tenten instinctively leaned into Shun's chest, clutching tightly at his lapel with both hands.

By the time she steadied herself, the surroundings had already changed to a deep night scene.

Brilliant stars filled the entire sky, scattered densely everywhere.

The sea surface was like a giant mirror, clearly reflecting the shadows of the stars. Moonlight sprinkled onto the water, creating sparkling ripples. Distant fishing lights flickered dimly. The evening breeze swept by, stirring up small waves that made a gentle sound, silent and romantically intoxicating.

Tenten looked at the night view before her, her nose tingling slightly.

She knew Shun was incredibly powerful, one of the top experts in the Ninja World. Countless people respected and looked up to him, but she never imagined that such an exalted person would so thoughtfully fulfill her seemingly whimsical wishes, one after another.

From the magnificent ocean to the leaping sea fish, from the brilliant rainbow to the romantic starry sky, every surprise contained his meticulous care and concern.

She recalled that since childhood, she had always trained and executed missions with Neji and Lee, accustomed to being strong and independent. Never before had anyone taken her small wishes so seriously.

This feeling of being cherished completely filled her heart, and the emotion spread across her eyes, nearly spilling out as tears.

Shun keenly sensed her emotions and pulled her tightly into his embrace. "If you want to cry, let it out. Don't hold back."

He lowered his head, first kissing the crown of her head. Feeling the slight trembling of the person in his arms, he slowly moved to the corner of her brow to kiss away the tear about to fall, and finally moved to her lips.

As an experienced playboy, he knew exactly how to tug at heartstrings.

Before long, Tenten grew weak all over, collapsing completely in his arms, only able to passively receive his kisses. All her strength and defenses crumbled under his gentle assault.

Shun chuckled softly, a satisfied delight in his expression, and swept her weak body up into his arms.

In an instant, the two arrived in an elegantly decorated bedroom, where the soft bed was laid with plain-colored brocade.

He gently placed Tenten on the bed, his fingers slowly tracing her cheek before moving to the buttons of her clothes.

The moment his fingers touched the buttons, Tenten grabbed his hand, her cheeks incredibly red.

She buried her head low, her long hair falling around her, and said in a shy tone, "Shun-sama... today... I... my period came..."

After speaking, she felt her face burning up, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

Shun's movement suddenly paused. A brief flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, which was immediately replaced by complete tenderness, without the slightest hint of impatience.

He understood the girl's embarrassment and nervousness at this moment. The heat in his palm gradually faded, becoming gentle.

He neither questioned her nor showed any dissatisfaction, simply patting the hand she was gripping, signaling her to relax. He slowly withdrew his hand, and a faint green Chakra glowed in his palm—gentle, healing Chakra, carrying a warmth.

He carefully placed his hand over Tenten's lower abdomen. "Don't be afraid, I'll help relieve the discomfort."

The warm Chakra flowed like water, slowly seeping into her body, circulating through her Chakra pathways and dispelling the bloating and discomfort. Even minor issues like old wrist injuries accumulated from years of using Ninja Tools and lower back aches were smoothed away.

Tenten felt a warmth spreading through her entire body, and her previously tense muscles gradually relaxed.

"Silly girl, why didn't you say you weren't feeling well sooner?"

His fingers gently brushed her sweat-dampened bangs, tucking them behind her ear, his gaze resting on her flushed cheeks, filled with doting affection.

He could imagine that she must have endured the discomfort just to stay by his side, this thoughtfulness softened his heart even more.

Tenten felt the comfort in her body and his tenderness. Her cheeks were still crimson, but she bravely lifted her head. Her eyes held a mix of hesitation and seriousness, and her fingers tightly gripped the bedsheet.

"Shun-sama... things are moving too fast and too suddenly for us."

"Neji and Lee are my most important partners. We grew up together, trained together, and went on missions together, they are like family to me. I want to say goodbye to them personally. I want to tell them myself, and I don't want them to worry about me."

As she spoke, her eyes held a hint of pleading.

She knew Shun had a noble status and might disdain such small matters, but she truly cared about Neji's and Lee's feelings.

Shun looked at her, seeing the steadfastness and plea in her eyes.

He knew Tenten was a very traditional and conservative woman, valuing loyalty and righteousness, and possessing her own pride, unwilling to let her partners misunderstand.

Without any hesitation, he leaned down and gently kissed her forehead. "Alright. Go say your goodbyes properly and explain everything you want to say. Don't have any worries. I won't follow you and cause trouble, and I absolutely won't let you suffer any grievances."

Feeling Shun's gentleness and consideration, Tenten's face flushed again. "Shun-sama, thank you. Actually, I feel much better now, I can... I can... serve..."

Seeing Tenten's shy and embarrassed appearance, Shun kissed her forehead again.

"Tenten, don't force yourself. Rest well today and recover your energy. Go say your goodbyes tomorrow, and just come back to me after you've spoken with your friends. I will prepare everything you need. You are going to be my future Queen."
